What Causes Lump On Chin Bone?
My 14 year old son has a lump on his chin bone a couple of cms. from the very front of his chin. It's about the size of a large pea, and it seems to be attached to the bone (it doesn't move). It doesn't hurt, even when touched. He is otherwise in good health, though he is suffering from acne. Any guidance you can provide is appreciated.

Hi! thanks for your post on HCM!
After going through your son's problem of the large pea sized painless chin lump which is attached to the bone, I would like to suggest following possibilities as per our experience of the needle biopsies in our clinic:
1. a benign cystic lesion possibility 60%
2. benign soft tissue tumor or tumor-like condition possibility 30%
3. tumors of minor salivary gland possibility 5%
4. harmless enlarged lymph node possibility 5%
Therefore, you should not worry about this but please see your family physician for a detailed examination, confirmation and to relieve your concern!
